Suggest you visit Garmin International website @http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/us for detailed comparison of the various models.

The features you mentioned are common in most decent GPS model but if you need TTS (eg in 500 metres turn left to Robinson Road), then this feature is only available in the higher end (ie more expensive) models that also come with blue tooth. Cheaper model will just tell you to turn left in 500 metres.

Hi, I am looking for a Nuvi and realised that there are so many Nuvi range. Basically I need a comprehensive function like, voice guide, auto rereoute, avoid ERP, u-turn, tell me"turn left to hill street" - a full function on GPS guide. The model must allow me to add malsingmaps for new updates! The chipset must be sifstar III.The size does not matter. I do not need FM trasmitter and all other fuction like blue tooth as I just to want get a cheap enough model and use wholly for GPS purpose only. I just need a full function GPS with no other funny features.

Any recommendation which model I should look for?

Thanks

bro magicdust to malsingmaps.

1. POIs as edited / created in mapsource are in xxx.gdb format. When you transfer into device, it will go into a file current.gpx2. All your Nuvi POI "Favorites" are stored in /garmin/gpx/current.gpx. You have no choice to save it under a different name. It is advisable to backup this file as should your Nuvi for whatever reasons crash, you can recover your favorites. When you read the files of your device via mapsource and save it, it will be saved as xxx.gbd format.
